This reminds me of the crypto/NFT days where everyone and their brother added a special “blockchain” feature in their product, even when it didn’t make sense or was completely unnecessary.
At least that can be turned off in updates.
All these hardware additions, the AI buttons, even Windows taking away the right CTRL key for Copilot, are ugly appendages that, in 20 years, when were clearing out the equipment closest, we’ll see some of these and go “oh yeah remember when that bullshit was as a thing for a few years?”
Those days? That was a couple of weeks ago.
It’s just like ten years ago when everything was about “the cloud”. I can’t wait for the industry to move on to another gimmick to force down the consumer’s throat.
The cloud at least made a bit of sense. Offload the requirements of hosting an app or colocating a server to other folks, and you just use it. It’s somebody else’s computer, and it’s their problem if something goes wrong.
The problem is that the MBAs making the decision didn’t understand what was going on in the first place, so “the cloud” because a catch-all buzzword for anything they didn’t want to think too hard about.
I mean… having a chokehold on cloud computing is still very much a source of the dominance US and Chinese companies have to shape world markets these days…
Don’t forget the part where Logitech now requires you to use a web app (that only works on Chromium) to adjust settings or pair dongles now.
Just find a new peripheral manufacturer.
I’m not defending them here but I use a company-provided Logitech keyboard and mouse and there is dedicated software (called Logi Options+)
I don’t think it needs Internet access and it definitely doesn’t run in a browser. I downloaded it with Firefox
This is like when Roku remotes had the Blockbuster button on them.
Silicon Valley is honestly worthless.
We have an entire industry based on innovations that are 30-50 years old.
How long until Wall street finds a new investment vehicle and San Francisco is the next Detroit?
“Logi AI prompt Builder”. Guess it’s time to sell my Logitech stocks
At first you wonder if this is real or fake, then you look it up.
the fuck does it do?
Not that I would ever buy it, but I can totally picture myself accidentally pressing that button all the fucking time.
FFS Logitech, all you had to do was release a redesign of the g600 mouse, how hard is that?
For those times when you need a tomboy in Counter strike
Whole new meaning to toggling now I guess?
“HAL, eco-buy and camp long B”
FFS Logitech
🤮
lmao at them trying.
Removed by mod
My WebEx client (a program for making phone calls and text messages) added a damned AI button last week.
Why!?
